Back Where We Started
Returning to the Philippines this year has been amazing and encouraging. It was 37 years ago that our family first came here to help another family and serve the people here in whatever way we could.

One of our passions is equipping leaders by “putting tools in their toolboxes”. Over the last 6 months our friends in Nepal have been translating and proofreading translations of Nathaniel’s Journey by Tom Kelby and Building on the Rock by Sheldon Dwyer.

Read MoreChildren’s Clothing
Each year we facilitate projects to help the 450 children at the Home of Peace in Bangladesh. Recently we were able to provide a new outfit for each child who lives and attends school there. As part of their sewing training, the older students sewed custom-made outfits for the girls and we purchased shirts for…
